Candidate Summaries
Forty words a recruiter could read aloud to a client, the fit against a specific requirement, and the concerns named. Every one is attributed — which model, which prompt version, when — because a summary is a claim about a person.

The form
What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.
| Field | Type | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headline | Text | ||
| Local headline | Text | ||
| Summary required | Long text | At most forty words. A two-hundred-word summary is a second CV and helps nobody. | |
| Local summary | Long text | ||
| Why that score | Long text | ||
| Local reasoning | Long text | ||
| Strengths | Text | ||
| Concerns | Text | Named rather than scored: a gap, a short-tenure pattern, a skill claimed and never used. | |
| Local concerns | Text | ||
| Right to work | Text |
The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
